Zanira's Word of the Day - BALANCE

Zanira’s Motivational Word of the Day - BALANCEDefinition: To be in equilibrium; an equality of weight, power, advantage; an amount still owed or left over.Action: This word is an indicator that even in the midst of chaos, you need to keep yourself in balance. It is definitely not a time to “rock the boat.” Take time to become centered and calm within yourself, so that your actions will be in harmony with your greatest and highest good.Balance comes from taking care of your own needs first. Harmonize the many aspects of yourself. Align your energies. Blend.Take time to ponder what you truly want. Weigh the issues. Perhaps make a list of the pros and cons in a situation. You may need to rearrange priorities. See clearly what you have let get out of control in your life. Find the balance you need to walk your path of life in harmony. It is worth the effort.Zanira Says SMILE

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.I would have talked less and listened more.I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's." More "I'm sorry's."But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it .. live it and never give it back. Stop sweating the small stuff.Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what.Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally. I hope you all have a blessed day.Zanira Says SMILE

The Bottom Line - By Zanira

THE BOTTOM LINEFACE IT.Nobody owes you a living.What you achieve, or fail to achieve in your lifetime,Is directly related to what YOU do or fail to do.No one chooses their parents or childhood,But you can choose your own direction.Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome,But that too, is relative to each individual.NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE.You can change anything in your lifeIf you want to badly enough.Excuses are for losers.TIME PLAYS NO FAVORITESAnd will pass whether you act or not.TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.Dare to dream and take risks….If you aren’t willing to work for your goals,Don’t expect others to.BELIEVE IN GOD 1ST, then Yourself.Zanira Says SMILE

Hello Beautiful Ladies of BBWO! My name is Zanira and I would like to share the following story with all of you. !Zanira's Quote of the Day -II AM WORTH IT!I’M WORTH A LOT!During a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question “What kind of man are you looking for?” She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, “Do you really want to know?” Reluctantly, he said, “Yes.”She began to expound…..”As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can’t do for myself. I pay my own bills, I take care of my household without the help of any man. I am in the position to ask, “What can you bring to the table?” The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, “I am not referring to money, I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life.”He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain. She said, “I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don’t need a simple minded man. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don’t need to be unequally yoked…..believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don’t need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who is not taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive….he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can’t help a man if he can’t/won’t help himself.When she finished her spiel, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, “You are asking a lot. She replied,“I’m worth a lot.”http://www.bizpreneur.com/zanira

Zanira’s Quote of the Day – Have a Positive View of Life…………………Positive View of lifeIf you want to be miserable, then get yourself around other people who are miserable. If you wish to be joyful, successful and fulfilled, put yourself around those who live with positive purpose.The more energy you put into complaining about how bad things are, the more things you'll have to complain about. The more intensely you visualize how good things can be, the better they will become.You are naturally drawn to whatever you focus upon. You will see precisely the opportunities and possibilities that you prepare yourself to see.Each day is filled with so many choices and directions that you cannot possibly connect to them all. The ones you do connect with are the ones that most closely resonate with your view of life.Fortunately, you can choose to view life in whatever way you wish. Those who find the best in life are those who continually remind themselves that all the good and valuable things are most certainly there.See your life as a grand opportunity to achieve ALL that you Desire..http://www.zanira.onesimplecard.comZANIRA SAYS SMILE

Perceptions

When you consider it to be a beautiful day, it is. When you believe that you are happy, you are.Expect to find an answer, and you will. Know that something is possible for you, and it surely comes about.Your perceptions do not merely reflect an objective, unresponsive reality over which you have no control. Your perceptions shape the reality that you experience.The way you see your life has a great influence on the way your life unfolds. How are you choosing to see your life?Your perceptions shine a light upon the world around you. The world that you actually experience depends on how and where you shine that light.How do you most sincerely wish for this day, this life, this world to be? What you choose to see is what you will cause to be.-- Anonymous

The Balanced Life

This is a picture I took on our drive up to Big Bear Lake......aahhh the beauties of Southern California :-)Acquiring a life of balance is a lot like rock climbing is for a newbie.This is one of my very first post on my blog, "B. beautiful, mind, body, spirit," (www.traceybrooks.blogspot.com) I thought this was worth re-posting here.My husband and I have made our theme for 2008 be, working toward a life that is in balance. Theme title is "The Balanced Life, mind, body and spirit." Out of that same thought process comes this blog. I will be covering subjects that I deal with in my daily life, mostly the good.....but with life you sometimes get lemons, so I'll be covering the bad also.... hopefully conveying how I have made Lemonade. My goal is to be an inspiration to all that visit. I believe that a life well lived is one that is shared. Friends, family and even strangers contribute to making us better. Choose to search for the good in all situations. I'm not saying I, myself is any Ms. Happy Go Lucky 24/7, but I am saying it's Ok to want to see, have and be the best. And I am pursuing Ms. Happy so that she can become a majority partner at all times. Part of what I think a balanced life entails is to be aware of everything, the good, bad and the ugly but to consciously seek the good. So here's to the best that life has to offer, even when the best come through adversity.Keep Climbing.Are you married?
